Interest only versus capital repayment calculations
Our buy to let mortgage calculator can show you interest only payments or capital repayments.
When you only pay the interest a lender charges, for borrowing money from them, you do not pay off the lump sum you borrowed. This is why this is referred to as a “payment” not a “repayment” – you are not paying off the original debt.
When you calculate capital repayments on a buy to let mortgage, this will reflect that you are paying both the interest the lender is charging you to borrow the money and the original amount you borrowed. You will own the property outright at the end of the term.
